For those who like a bit of Spanish history . The death has occurred of General Franco's daughter Carmen (Carmencita). She was 91. Her mother Carmen Polo was very ambitious that Carmencita would marry nobility which she did when she married Cristobal-Bordiú, Marques de Villaverde a noted heart surgeon who died in 1998. They had 7 children.

Had it not been for Franco and his anti-Bolshevik nationalist armies Spain would have become another Albania, Bulgaria or Romanian Stalinist state. His not being fashionable or politically correct doesn't make him wrong.
